Welcome to Shore Lodge, the ultimate summer destination nestled in the breathtaking beauty of McCall, Idaho. With its pristine Payette Lake and a wide array of outdoor adventures, this luxurious resort offers an idyllic escape for travelers seeking sun-soaked relaxation and thrilling experiences. To ensure you maximize your stay, we’ve compiled a list of the best items to pack in your beach bag. So, grab your shades, and let’s dive in!
Swimwear and Casual Beach Attire
The first item on your packing list should be your favorite swimwear. Whether you’re lounging by the outdoor heated pools, soaking in the hot tubs, or indulging in exciting watersports like paddleboarding and kayaking at the marina, you’ll want to make a splash in style.
After working up an appetite, you will want to experience the delicious, casual beachside dining at The Cutwater on Payette Lake. Remember a breezy sundress or a stylish button-down shirt for the perfect dinner attire!
Entertainment Essentials
Pack your favorite book or Kindle and grab your headphones for those moments of blissful solitude. Take advantage of the tranquil mornings by reading, listening to your latest podcast addiction, or playing relaxing meditative music on your private outdoor patio or balcony. Immerse yourself in captivating stories and spectacular views while the sounds of nature serenade you.
Beach Accessories
To complete your beach bag ensemble, remember to pack essential beach accessories. Bring a wide-brimmed hat to shield yourself from the sun’s rays, a colorful beach towel for lounging by the water, and a waterproof phone case to capture every moment of your vacation. These accessories will elevate your style and enhance your beachside experience at Shore Lodge.
Activewear
Stay active and energized, even while on vacation! At Shore Lodge, we have a 24-hour fitness center for your daily workouts on-site. If you’re looking for an immersive nature experience, embrace the great outdoors by embarking on exhilarating activities such as mountain biking, rock climbing, or trekking through a hiking trail at Ponderosa State Park. You can also take one of our complimentary cruiser bikes out for a spin throughout town. Ask the front desk about this perk. Remember to pack your activewear to embrace all possible excursions with absolute comfort.
Beach Day Skin Care
Protecting your skin is essential, especially when basking in the glorious Idaho sun. Pack sunscreen and lip balm with high SPF ratings to keep your skin safe and moisturized. Sunglasses are also a must to shield your eyes from the shimmering rays. A great life hack is bringing a stainless-steel water bottle to keep your hydration game strong and your water refreshingly cold throughout the day.
